ConclusionEnabling identity awareness is an international challenge that requires a collaborative effort. ANDS encourage your collaboration in this area and particularly to investigate these questions:

• How can we measure and improve identity awareness of research data?

• How can we measure and improve data reuse?• How can we measure research impact?• How can your organisation take advantage of the some

of the emerging global identity infrastructures?
